| FTBL Deadspin: Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend, the most heartbreaking and inspirational story of the colle

[cjaytch]

Awww Jeez, here we go

"he played strong for 12 games--then in january he played without any focus at all--likely his worst game at ND---coincidence--doubtful---more likely during the time frame of the last game and dec 26th manti found out what happened.--indeed the whole defense may have had a sense that something has happened and it may have been a root cause for the HORRIFIC AND SURPRISING DEFENSIVE COLLAPSE---"

Right, it had NOTHING to do with 3 future NFL players on Alabama's oline, had nothing to do with Bama having NFL running backs, Nfl qB, NFL recievers. Had nothing to do with the hard work and preparation on the part of Bama's players and staff. The ND team gave up because they found out about this crap.

It's like "if Colt hadn't gotten hurt" all over again. Everyone has an excuse after Bama curb stomps them.

ND won't release investigation findings, why wouldn't you release this? You're already embarrassed, why not go after them. I'm struggling with this presser right now.

Odd, this conference calls is just like a Company's Earnings Call, they have an operator announcing the phone in callers.

They will be releasing the transcript within the hour.

"Lennay Kekua" is Polynesian for "Colt McCoy", and Deadspin was Colt's arm's post-NC game nickname.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

LOL you are correct! I actually tried to remember what LSU's excuse was and couldn't

"You didn't deserve a second chance to play us."

 

[cjaytch]

"You didn't deserve a second chance to play us."

Doh thats right, the "Mulligan doesnt count" excuse. Yeah that one was pretty ineffective seeing as how I couldnt even remember it

Oh and this is just horrible

"chastro D ‏@chastroD
What do Alabama RB Eddie Lacy and Lennay Kekua have in common? @MTeo_5 never hit it."

LSU = QB controversy, then split locker room, followed by players discussion with Les.

Brent Musberger thinks Teo"s fake girlfriend is hot!

 

[planomateo]

So...

Being heartbroken over the loss of loved ones helps motivate you, but being heartbroken over realizing you been duped demotivates you.

I didn't watch any ND games this year (except the last). Did anyone see him make a REAL tackle...maybe he only tackles in fantasy land.

Lmao!

 

[bamaraider]

Could you imagine what it would be like if he won the Heisman?????

Right, it can't be that Bama is just that darn good.....

Honestly, I'm really questioning why he didn't go to her funeral at this point.

"My girlfriend's service was the day of Michigan's game," he said recently. "I knew when they were going to close the casket and all of that stuff, and it was during walk-through. I remember I asked Coach (Bob) Diaco, 'Coach what time is it?' And he said, 'It's 12:01.'


"That would be 9:01 California time and nine o'clock is when they closed the casket for my girlfriend. So I had a moment then."


Hours later Te'o went out, intercepted two passes and made eight tackles to win a national defensive player of the week award for the second time this season.

I thought that was weird at the time. But I figured he was being a tough guy. A weird tough guy.

Didn't anyone ever notice the lack of a death notice or pictures at the time? Considering the events made him a media darling, wouldn't they have stalked the crap out of him then?

The guy who had a sit down interview with him for Game Day said that he couldnt find any record of a death certificate or a news report of the supposed massive car wreck and then when he asked Mentai to speak to the family he said they would rather stay out of it and when he asked for pictures he said they would rather not give those either... and he said that didnt raise any flags to him, yikes.
